- This senior player of the Indian team may be shown the way out after the T20I series (IND vs ENG) being played against England. Despite getting constant opportunities, this player is struggling for runs.
IND vs ENG: The third match of the five-match T20I series (IND vs ENG) between India and England was played at the Niranjan Shah Cricket Stadium in Rajkot. In this match, India had to face a crushing defeat by 26 runs, after which questions were being raised continuously on the performance of a senior player of Team India. This dashing batsman, who is making a splash abroad, is struggling for every run on Indian soil, after which the head coach and chief selector of Team India may sack this senior player soon after the end of the series.
bat is not working
Sanju Samson, who scored two centuries in South Africa, is struggling for every run against England (IND vs ENG). 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has scored just 34 runs in three T20I matches against England so far. During this, his highest score was 26 runs, which also came in Kolkata, after which he contributed 5 runs in Chennai and 3 runs in Rajkot.
Sanju Samson, who came to open the innings, has been seen struggling against the short ball in this series (IND vs ENG) so far, which is why he has been losing wickets in the same way to Jofra Archer’s balls all three times so far. If he flops in the next two matches as well, then another player sitting out can be given a chance in his place.
There was a ruckus in South Africa
Earlier, Sanju Samson’s bat had thundered fiercely on the South Africa tour. He created a stir by scoring two double centuries in two matches against the Proteas bowlers, but Sanju, who scored centuries in two matches, could not even open his account in the other two matches. But his centuries hid his two zeros, but after flopping once again, questions are being raised about his place in Team India. Sanju’s bat was also silent in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. But despite this, he was included in the squad.
Crisis looms in the playing eleven
If Sanju fails to play a big innings in the remaining two matches against England (IND vs ENG), then captain Suryakumar Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir can show this wicketkeeper the way out not only from the playing eleven but from the entire squad. Currently, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Ishaan are eyeing Sanju’s place. If he fails to prove himself in the remaining two matches, then there is no doubt that the selectors and coach can look towards other options and show Sanju the way out.
Sanju’s T20I performance
Sanju Samson has been getting opportunities in Team India again and again, but he has failed to prove himself on these occasions every time. Sanju has got a chance to play in 40 T20I matches for Team India, in which he has scored 844 runs with an average of 26.37, in which he has scored 3 centuries and two half-centuries. At the same time, during this time he has been out on zero 4 times. If Sanju does not improve these figures soon, then his place may be in danger.
